Being situated on the Regent's Canal they are conn ec t e d w i t h the Thanes and with all the r dlways which run into London, and are other 'wise admirably adapted to the requirements of the business to be conducted therein. They are now in full operation, and the Company will thus at once enter upon an existing and Pwiltable business. It is intended to work, in conjunction with this business, 'Mate valuable patents which the Company have arranged to acquire for improvements in an important class of steam agricultural machinery, for which there is a largely increas ing demand at home and abroad, and for the manufacture of Which these premises are well adapted.

For heav cad expensive casti ngs, and for i ron bridges, and the his works stand unrivalled. He has founded, in connec tion with these works, an extensive continental as well as Imme connection. Within the last few years many important engineering establishments have been transferred from private hands to form the basis of joint-stock enterprise, and with the most Marked success, Amongst these may be named the works of Mr. John Ashbury, now The Ashbury Iron and CWaggon 'Company of Manche s t er ; the works of Mr. John Barrow, of' :Staveley, no w The Staveley Iron and Coat Company (limited); and those of Mr. John Brown, now known as John Brown and Company, of Sheffield. The shares of all these are at a Very large premium. The terms upon which the Director nave engaged to pur chase Mr. Grissell's works, are 'mounded upon a valuation Made by Messrs. Faller and liorsey, and are most satisfac tory. Mr. Grissell hues kreed to money, in the business a con derable portion of the purchase e and tor the present to take upon himself the respontibilities of Managing ZAirector.

Informa tion from a very reliable source has reached me to the effect that the whole effective force cf infantry does not exceed 22,000 men, There may be more on paper, bat considerable deductions must be made for the hospitals. To the above number we must add cavalry, artillery, engineers, &e., but the total would still bo considerably under 30,000 men. With these Funen must be garrisoned—and the whole of them would not be too many to resist an attack on the scale on which the allies would make it—and some provision must be made for Copenhagen, where it is believed, at least by the Germans, that the Government cannot safely dis pense with the presence of a respectable armed force.

I see that the Danish papers talk of some extra ordinarily long bridges, put together in a creek on the Sundewitt side of Alsen Sund, and which, after the first Prussians had been landed from boats on the morning of the 29th ult., were suddenly shot, so to speak, across the Sound, propelled, it would seem, by a couple of locomotives (of what nature is not stated), and that so the channel was in a moment bridged, and thousands of Prussians poured over, rendering resistance utterly hopeless on the part of the outnumbered Danes.

It is comparatively easy to collect and ascertain the results of the firing in half a dozen competitions daily, but when the number of matches is doubled, and a corresponding increase takes place in the ranks of the competitors, the amount of work which has to be crowded into a few hours at the close of the day undergoes a perceptible addition. Still, every Volunteer who has distin guished himself in a contest of note on the previous day of course expects to find his achievements bruited abroad on the following morning in the usual channels of ha formation ; and with this very natural desire, whatever the difficulties in the way, the Association must acquiesce, if its wide arena is to retain its popularity. attrac tive, as will be seen from the following t D T ET h A is iL d o a r y e loo p T ro iN o G ee ....... di dings Cannot fail to be :ROOTING TO COMMENCE AT 915 A.M.

The arrangement is of the simplest kind, and will be understood in a very few words. At the firing point is a small oak post about three feet high, from the base of which wires coated with gutta percha run to the protecting mantlet at the other extremity of the range, inside of which, and quite under the control of the marker at the butts, is a small electric battery, a call-bell, or alarm, and an interrupter for the purpose of breaking the electric current. As soon as the person about to fire is ready, a small button on the summit of the post is pressed down with the finger ; this completes the electric circuit, and the bell at the butts immediately begins to ring, at the same time that a needle on the dial of the indicator fixed to the post is deflected, showing to the parties who have set the apparatus in motion that the bell is ringing to a certainty at the other end. It continues to do so till the marker in his turn presses his finger upon the brass knob of the interruption, which breaks the electric circuit, stops the rigging of the bell, and the needle at the firing end of the range immediately resumes its vertical position. Both parties then know that all is ready and safe, and the shot is fired. The perfect manner in which space is annihilated by this little instrument must be seen to be believed. It is asserted that in the course of experiments made by the Long Range Club at Hounslow signals were made after the shots had been fired and answered before the bullets reached the targets. The material of which the Swiss targets are composed did not quite answer yesterday the expectations which had been formed concerning it, but the necessary mea sures have been taken, and today matters will be on a different footing. One distinguishing feature_of the annual gather ing at Wimbledon is the readiness with which it adapts its arrangements to circumstances, however unexpected and trying. If Volunteers in excess by some hundreds of the numbers looked for, or which ever came before, intimate their intention of sleep ing in camp that very night, the resources of the secretary, Captain Mildmay, prove equal to the de.. mand. If some valuable prize be offered, or some inleresting problem started which requires a prac tical solution, Captain Page, the executive officer, is able to see his way through the maze of targets and the labyrinth of squads to a day and an hour when the competition can take place without inter fering with previous arrangements apparently occupying every inch of the ground. Lastly, if the system of marking has to be revolutionised in a single night, Captain Drake, R.E., is the man to do it. It remains, however, to be seen whether an undertaking to which the Association has just com mitted itself, and which certainly was not foreseen when their programme was drawn up, will be car ried out with the same success as its other arrange ments. Last year midnight meetings were of fre quent occurrence, and these have now led to a mid night match. The design had its origin in a letter courteously addressed to the Association on behalf of the Owl, the proprietors of which offered a prize of £5O to be shot for on any conditions the council might suggest. They naturally came to the cone elusion that "the witching hour" was the only one appropriate to such a contest, and they have ac cordingly undertaken to provide targets with trans parent centres, in which not b u ll' s b ut ow l' s eyes shall attract the aim of the marksinay.

The order also directs that the workmen and mechanics employed on the screw corvette Cadmus, 21, 400 horse power, and the Torch, 5, 80 horse power, are also to be paid " exer tion money," both those vessels being required for immediate service. Yesterday upwards of 100 tons of the 5-inch and 6.inch iron armour plates for the Bellerophon and Lord Warden ironclad frigates were landed at Chat. ham dockyard from the Millwall Ironworks, and the Atlas Works, Sheffield. There are now between 1,000 and 2,000 tons of armour plates in store at Chatham dockyard for the Bellerophon and Lord Warden, both of which vessels are being pushed forward. as rapidly as the resources of the dockyard will allow. The Fawn, 17, screw steam slco:‘, 751 tons, 100- horse power, recently commissioned by Commander Charles J.

Daring the trial the vessel was in charge of Capt. W. K.

The paddlewheel vessel v • ivid yesterday returned to Woolwich, having con veyed the son of Prince Frederick William of Prussia and the Princess Royal from Calais to Dover, on a visit to her Ma jesty. The Vivid left Woo lwich on Sunday, hav ing bees despatched hastily on the receipt of a tele gram from the Admiralty for that purpose. On the receipt of her orders she was stripped, her crew hulked on board the Salsette f or repairs, and the ship had already re ceived a coat of paint through. out. The crew were berthed, however, stores were reshipped, and the Vivid duly Under way sailing at the appointed time. The Prince and his attendants crossed from Calais to Dover on Tuesday.

Wodaworth, As% THE WAR IN DENMARK, (From the Special Correspondent of the limes.) AUSTRIAN HEADQUARTERS, KOLDING, JUTLAND, July 8. I passed the greater part of yesterday at Voile, 17 miles northward from this place, where I had not been since the second day of the action between the Danes and Austrians early in the month of March. Gen. Hegermann Lindenkrone, who commanded the Danish troops on that occasion, got considerable discredit among his countrymen for what they con sidered slackness or tardiness, and some persons here seem to think it possible that, in order to re trieve his reputation, he might be disposed now to risk an action on or near the Liim Fiord. The most conflicting reports continue to prevail as to the troops the Danes have in North Jutland, and I sus pect the German Generals are puzzled to decide on a plan of operations. Very large forces have gone up north, as well as many boats and pontoons, but the principal commanders of the allied army still remain south, Prince Frederick Charles at Apenrade, and Gen. Gablenz here. A part cf the Austrian comman der's staff yesterday went up to Veile, and were to pass the night there, which looks as if there were a chance of these headquarters moving northwards. That the Danes can gain any important advantage by risking an engagement at the Liim Fiord is not believed. It is assumed that the whole Danish army does not now amount to . 30,000 men, and that esti. mate, indeed, was made before they lost 3,000 or more on Alsen. As they cannot leave Funen un guarded, 15,000 men is the largest number it is sup posed they could assemble in North Jutland. These would be assailed by greatly superior forces, and even if they were so fortunate as to repulse a first attack the reserves close at hand would render it hopeless for them long to hold their ground. The probability appears to be that they have withdrawn most of their troops to Funen. A Danish officer who was taken in the skirmish on the 3d inst. at Lindenburg told persons here and at Veile that the forces north of the Liim Fiord were very small. Ap parently the Allies find a difficulty in getting trust worthy spies to serve them in North Jutland. I have some reason for believing, however, that a des cision is on the point of being arrived at, and that, within a day or two, a further move will have been made towards the north, or else the chief efforts of the Allies will be directed against Funen. The decision rests with Prince Frederick Charles, and his orders are awaited with impatience. Meanwhile the pressure of requisitions, and the inconvenience suffered by the inhabitants in conse quence of certain purely military measures that are being taken with a view to probable operations against Funen, have produced a strong effect in this southern corner of Jutland. From Snoghoi and other villages in the neighbourhood deputations have waited on the highest militaiy authorities, asking leave to send, by a flag of truce to Funen, petitions to the King, to which it is affirmed that thousands of signatures can speedily be obtained, imploring him to take measures to put an end to the war and to the terrible evils it entails upon the country. This is in a contrary sense to certain addresses sent from places in Jutland during the armistice, and contain ivag, besides professions of loyalty, protestations of the willingness of the people to bear their burdens, end the assurance that they did not wish to see the wr terminated on unfavourable conditions for the sake of relieving them. Those address s, the promoters of the present ones now say, were got up by handfuls of agitators, by persons who had little to lose, and who hoped to gain by a dis play of simulated zeal. Doubtless they en couraged Copenhagen in its obstinacy and gave occasion to the war journals of that capital to make light of the misery the contest was i nflict ing on Jutland. This may have passed muster with those who desired to believe in it, or who sought only to pander to the purposes of a fanatical party. But one needs not go very far into Jutland to con template the reverse of the medal, and to see how terribly the province suffers, and how sorely it is oppressed and drained by the military occupa tion. Hers and at Veile the requisitions press with almost unendurable rigour upon the inhabitants. There is no exemption. What is demanded must be delivered, and if the people have not got it they must buy it, The army lives upon the country, and some persons here assert (with what truth I know not) that it even exacts more than it requires and sends the surplus into Schleswig. Here and at Veile I have heard bitter complaints of the harshness and exactions of the Prassians, who are said to treat the country en pays conquis in the fullest sense of the term, and to show no mercy if their most exorbitant demands be not instantly complied with. I myself have seen scarcely any Prussians since I came into Jutland, but I tell you what the Jutlanders say. The feeling towards them in this country seems as bad as it can be ; it is such as, were the people hot blooded Italians or Spaniards, instead of phlegmatic peaceable Danes, could hardly fail to produce the bands of exterminating guerillas and even individual assassinations. 3tembargo on goods seized for war contribution still continues. Various merchants and shopkeepers here have portiona of their goods sealed up. At Veils I was told of five of the principal shops being closed in like manner ever since May 11. The mer chandise is there, and as yet untouched, but mean• while the owners are being ruined. The con dition of the remainder of Jutland, as regards re• quisitions, sequestrations, and general pressure, is in no degree better than here, and if Copenhagen persist in carrying on the war even for a short time longer nothing less is to be anticipated than the total exhaustion and ruin of the province. The flourishing crops that now cover the ground will be gathered in for German benefit, and winter will find the peasant's garner empty'and his means of sub sistence gone. The cows, which of evenings one now sees the women busily relieving of their milky stores, and then driving home for shelter from the keen air of a Jutland July night, will pasha detail i n to German stomachs —fortunately, pps, for them, since death by the knife will save them from the pangs of hunger when frost no longer allows them to seek nourishment afield. The hay that is now being made will before then have been consumed by the chECrgers of Prussian Cuirassiers and Hun garian Hussars. The Allies have a large force of cavalry in Denmark, and, besides that, the innus merable horses whioh assist in transporting rations and other stores must be kept in good working con dition. On the road yesterday I passed nearly two miles of carts, conveying bread, hay, sacks of corn, great casks of wine branded " Vienna" (Jutland supplies no such generous liquor), and innumerable other requisites for the legions now in front. At Viuf, a village nearly half way between Kolding and Veile, there is an open air depot, similar to the one at Atzbull, between Gravenstein and Puppet, where artillery, ammunition, fascines, gabions, are collected. Close to it is a cross-road leading down east wards, in the direction of Siioghoi. The Danish officials employed in Jutland in the collection of taxes and in the general administration art : to be continued in office so long as they are tr „ ta ,;_le and obedient and do their duty to the new Governmel Lt ; but any who prove insubordinate, or g ive trouble, w .:ll be at once sent over to their coup. trymen in the islae:lB, and will be replaced by Hol steiners or Schleswigei s speaking Danish as well as German, and well-affected to the powers that be. If the war lasts long enough, this may be made a means of German propagandism i.O Jutland. A large German merchantman Witg attacked by a Danish gunboat the evening before last off the coast ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. EAST GLOUCESTERSHIRE.—The election of a member for the eastern division of Gloucestershire took place yesterday at Gloucestershire. In conse quence of the retirement of the Hon. Mr Dutton, the anticipated contest between two Conservatives for the seat rendered vacant by the death of Sir C. W. Codrington was avoided, and Sir Michael E. Hicks Beach was elected without opposition. He was met by his friends and supporters at the Bell Hotel, the headquarters of the Conservative party inGlou cestorshire, and by them escorted to the Shirehall, without beat of drum or tintinnabulary accompani ment. The hon. candidate wore a blue scarf, and some of his supporters exhibited the same colours, but the proceedings were conducted very quietly. The HIGH-SHERIFF having observed the usual formularies, and put the usual questions, The Hon. W. L. BATHURST formally nominated Sir Michael Hicks Beach, of Williamship-park, as a fit and proper person to represent the division of the county in Parliament. In the course of some observations on the political topics of the day Mr, Bathurst referred to the candidate's declared senti ments with regard to Denmark, observing that while sympathising with that country he wao not prepared to advocate an armed interferenco in ',leis behalf. He (Mr. li.it'dursi) beliL;ecl that in expreEsing this opinion. Sir Michael was right. Peac3 was the policy of this country. It was not with nations as with individuals—nations could not afford to be chivalrous, and ho believed the less we meddled with foreign affuirs the better, or rather we had meddled too much with them already. Mr. J. C. HAYWARD, county chairman, seconded the nomination, and paid a tribute of respect to the memory of the late member, Sir C. W. Codrington. Ten years ago he (Mr. Hayward) had nominated in that place the father of the present candidate, who had been returned by a triumphant majority. It was the will of God, however, that they should be early deprived of his services, and he had now great satisfaction in proposing his son--a young gentleman who had successfully pursued his studies at Oxford, and had taken first class places in Law, Jurisprudence, and Modern History. No other candidate being proposed, the High- Sheriff, after a short pause, declared Sir Michael Hicks Beach duly elected. (Loud and reiterated cheering.) Sir M. E. HICKS BEACH then addressed the elec. tors. After thanking them for the honour done to him and to the memory of his father—and joining in the tribute of respect paid by the preceding speakers to the late Sir C. W. Codrington—he said be felt that it was not owing to any merit of his own that he had been elected. It was rather owing to certain events which had taken place in that county ten years ago. He believed that as soon as the present vacancy occurred the minds of the Con servative party in the division generally hed turned to the circumstances of the last contest and to the name of one who had taken a prominent part in it ; and he believed they had elected him that day be cause they thought that he represented the same principles as his father did when he contested the division :ten years ago, and because they believed that the confidence which they had formerly placed in the father would not be forfeited by the son. (Cheers.) It should be his (Sir Michael's) endeavour to merit that confidence, and in order to do so he could not do better than follow, as far as in him lay, in the footsteps of their late member, who for thirty years had faithfully represented the Conservative party in the House of Commons. For his own part he would say that his (Sir Michael's) principles were truly and thoroughly Conservative.a He would make no promise to vote on every oocasion against the present Government, neither would he promise always to follow in his votes the present Opposition, but he would promise to oppose Radical alterations and innovations, from whatever quarter they might emanate. (Cheers.) He then proposed a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff. This having been carried, the new member was girt with the sword of a knight of the shire, and the proceedings terminated. BRISTOL. A requisition signed by 3,258 electors of Bristol is to be presented to Sir S. M. Peto to-day inviting him to come forward as a candidate for the seat which will be vacated at the close of the present Parliament by Mr. W. H. Gore Langton, who has intimated his intention not to offer himself for re election. The Conservatives will contest the seat, but have not yet announced the candidate they in tend to propose. At the last election Mr Langton was returned by a majority of 80 over Mr (after wards Sir F. W.) Slade, his ConservatiNe opponent. Mr H.

Mr Woodruffe, of the Machen Works, Mon mouthshire, occupied the chair, and a considerable discus . sion took place as to the present position and future pro spects of the trade. The reduction in the price of tin and the slight decline in iron enable makers, it was said, to quote lower prices to some extant. The American tariff was the principal point of interest referredto,a ndageller was expressed that, instead of a reduction of the tariff, t he opinion p r obabilities were that it would be virtuall y in creased by the ad valorem princ i p le being abandonedandta qte a different and less advantageous system adopted of charging the duty. Upon the whole, the trade was reported to be not in quite so good a state as at the time of the last meeting, although there was no room to complain, taking into con sideration the troubles in America, the high rate of discount, and other iti i ; matters.
